Wired back haul better?
I have a Orbi RBR40 setup that replaced a Nighthawk router a while back, the WiFi is much better across our bungalow but we have been getting dropouts and I think it’s the satellite dropping - should...
I’ve only had problems with the wireless backhaul causing drop outs, I’m hoping going wired will sort that!
The Sonos connections are fine, just a slow hub - I could probably not use them now tbh as the setup was without the switch for a while on older routers with more ports!
What does the daisy chain option supposedly do when working?
Well sonos has been known to cause problems since they have there own wifi in some configurations.
Daisy Chain is if you have two or more satelliltes positioned in a line, you can have them connect to each other, piggy back off each other, like ina string of lights. When you don't have two or more or using wired back haul, Daisy Chain needs to be disabled. For some reason the new FW has it Enabled when the check mark isn't marked in the UI, so for your configuration on this version of FW, you need to put a check mark and this will DISABLE Daisy Chain. Only on this version of FW. This could be the problem as if your configuration had been working up to the new FW, then this is something to try out first...
